Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

Necro bump. Took this pup out today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgSYjNGHRHM Funny thing, the motor will not run on the SVX MAF, but it will on the Legacy MAF. I suspect an oil leak from the crank seal or the cam seals as the timing covers are seeping The r :yuck: adiator set-up is working well....

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

This is the way I have the radiator and fan set-up. Just used some slotted angle aluminum and some threaded studs to hold the fan in place. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/Jessekrs123/IMG_1230_zpsghd4jkg3.jpg I reinforced the headlight frames with some angle iron because without the center r...

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

Did some fabbing over the weekend. My neighbors must hate me, constant cutting/grinding Friday night thru Sunday night. Cut/welded some angle iron and made the following radiator supports: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/Jessekrs123/IMG_1191_zpsgdqzzkhi.jpg I still need to drill holes and we...

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

Hey guys. Exciting update. She runs. Looking over the wiring harness at the motor, I found a couple wires missing from the connector that goes to the igniter and the coils. 2 black/white 12v wires were missing. Luckily I found them from my wiring nest, nicely labeled the way I left it and hooked the...

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

So I was able to get the fuel pump and main relays to function. Turns out the Legacy and the SVX relay set-up works a little differently from one another, so luckily I kept all of my SVX harness and pulled the fuel pump relay wiring and main relay wiring from that and merged everything in. http://i1...

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

Hi guys, I got the motor in (tight squeeze, had to drill out the spots welds on the center radiator support to allow for some wiggle room) and began mocking up the wiring. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/Jessekrs123/IMG_1173_zpse5vpkpkj.jpg I am having an issue though.

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

I've been following you build for a while now and am very impressed but also a little impatient. I can't wait to see the end result. Did you have a wiring diagram for the svx? I'm in need of one for a swap I'm doing for a friend. Are you looking for replacement spring hose clamps? As a mechanic, I ...

Re: Jessekrs123's 1993 Subaru Legacy L EG33 Swap

Bolted on the new pulleys, crank sensors, cam sensor, hooked up coolant lines. Nobody has those pinch clamps, I went to 3 parts stores and 2 hardware stores with no luck. Everybody only has the wormwood stuff. Cam sprockets are rubbing against the rear timing covers, too cold to figure anything out ...

Prepped and taped off the engine for paint. Keeping old parts on that you are going to replace anyway makes blocking off the essentials really easy.

Can't you rotate the block 90*? Yes, but I don't want to take any chances, I just want to be safe and have someone there holding the head in place while I put in the first 2 bolts.
